Over the past few years, I have had a number
of customers ask me what the difference is between the GBC Standard
ClearView Binders and the GBC Premium ClearView Binders. These
customers were looking for high quality presentation binders and were
wondering if it was worth upgrading from standard to premium grade. In
order to make this decision it was important for them to understand the
differences between the two grades of binders. Here are some of the
differences:
All of GBC's premium line of ClearView clear
overlay binders use solid heavy duty chipboard for the front, back and
spine. Many of the binders from GBC's standard line of clear overlay
binders use fluted chipboard for the front, back and spine.
GBC's premium line of ClearView binders are covered with a non-stick
clear overlay vinyl. This non stick vinyl prevents ink and toner from
transferring to the binder. Although the vinyl looks similar on both
types of binders, the standard binders do not have non stick vinyl.
Thus, toner may eventually transfer from your binder inserts onto the
clear vinyl..
The pockets on the GBC premium line of
binders are 4-1/2" deep while the pockets on the standard line of
binders are 3-1/2" deep. The deeper pockets on the premium binders
allow you to store more documents and keep them secure in the front and
back of your presentation binder..
All sizes of GBC
premium grade D-Ring and EZ Load binders include sheet lifters. None of
the standard grade GBC ClearView binders include sheet lifters..
Several sizes of binders are available in GBC's premium line that are
not available in the standard line. GBC has 4" clear overlay D-ring
binders available in their premium line. They also have 3/4" white
clear overlay binders in their premium line. .
This is a quick overview of the differences between the standard and
the premium lines of GBC ClearView binders. Generally, the price
difference between the standard and premium binders is very small and
it is usually worthwhile to go with the premium binders. However, most
presentation binders are only used once and sometimes it is worthwhile
saving the money. Really the decision is yours. Just remember, if you
have questions just call...
